Refused a R.quIsi ion.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 6.-About the
18th of September, four white men en-
ployed at the stave factory near Bruins
wick, Tennessee, in this county, ar
rested negro named Jim Easton, on
some slight pretext, and, after binding
his hands, carried him into a cane
brake. Then they shot him to death
and tied sack of mud around
his neck and threw him into Hatchie
River, where the body was discovered
about three days afterwards. w. Z.
Coffman, one of the men implicated in
the murder, was arrested at Bruins
wick. The three others fed. al Nc
Mahon, one of the murderers,
went to Ord, Nebraska, where
he was arrested by the Sheriff
of that county, and placed in jail. Two
deputv-sheriffs, armed with requis-
itiOn from Governor Robert L. Taylor,
of Tennessee, to Governor J. Thayer,
of Nebraska, left ten days ago to bring
the fugitive back to justice. They re-
turned to Memphis this morning empty
handed. Governor Thayer re-
fused to recognize the requis-
ition of the Tennessee Governor.
He makes no excuse, simply saying he
declined to issue warrant of eXtradi-
ton. This conduct has created much
Indignation here. Attorneys General
George 3. Peters and other leading at
torneys have SO far been unable to find
parallel case in the books.

The lows EvictIOns.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. S.-A Times
special says: One of the most reliable
citizens of O'Brien county was asked
last night as to the truthfulness of the
dispatches concerning the cruel eyic-
tions in northwestern Iowa and in
stantly Endorsed it. In regard to the
English land company, which is said to
be turning American citizens out OF
their homes, he said: It certainly is true.
They are an old firm reorganized into
the Western Land company. They
bought from the old McGregOr s. West
ern or it's assigns, and the Milwaukee
s. Sioux City companies, some lands
granted to the McGregor q Western in
1854, but never earned, for the road was
never built When Teller was secIe-
tary of the interior he and the land
commissioner both declared the lands
unearned and promised to open them
for settlement. On the faith of these
declarations and promises some settlers
went on these lands and built their
homes. The English syndicate now
has railroad title and proposes to
keep possession. At least 100 families
have been evicted and before they get
through the number Will be increased
to 14O.
We're there any of those you knew
subjected to undue severity in their
eVictions?''
YES. The Finch family locked
their doors against the intruders. but
the doors and windows were broken in
and they were carried out and COM
PEELED TO spend the night on the public
road. In the case of Nels Nelson the
same thing happened, and he was SO
terrorized by troop of armed men and
by levies on his live stock and furniture
that he succumbed and signed the
company's lease. Others have
been terrorized into doing the
same thing. In. one case
with which [ am perfectly familiar
the mother-in-law, who is a member o.
4 the family, was sick abed. She was
carried out into hard rain and com
PEELED to spend the night there, and II

family could find for her. These ar

the matter to the courts.

Utah Commission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. S.-John
A McCIernand and A. b. Clotten of
the Utah Commission have submitted
to the secretary of the interior mi
nority report, dissenting from some of
the views of majority of the commits
sion, as expressed in its annual report,
recently submitted. The minority re-
port says: While concurTing in part in
the majority report of our associates,
we dissent from it particularly as re
CARDS the general animuS, and the
propriety of introducing theological
decision into a secular document. At
ter review of the effects of the new
legislation law upon the election of a
delegate to the Fifteenth Congress the
dissenting commissioners say that early
in the present year they thought they
diScerned disposition among the Nor
mons to give up the practice of polyga-
my, and adds that they have used their
official and personal influence to induce
the Mormons to take such step. The
commissioners wish to diSclaim any in
reference in the question of state
hood for Utah, but consider
that whether the territory
be admitted or not, strong
advanced position is gained when the
mass of the people are induced to
place themselves on record in Opposi-
ton to polygamy. Now, while the great
mass of the Mormon people are making
an effort for the abandonment of the
practice of polygamy we are asked to
recommend further legislation of hos
tile and aggressive character, almost,
if not entirely destructive of local gov
eminent, thereby inficting punish
ment upon the innocent as well as the
guilty. This we decline to do. The
commission instead recOmend the
adoption of an amendment to the eonsti-
tuition of the Tilted States prohibiting
the institution or practice of polygamy
in any form in any of the states or ter

A Mine Explosion.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. S.-The
following are the details as far as can
be learned of coal mine explosion at
Madisonville, Kentucky on Thursday
evening. AS the day force was about
to give place to the night force heavy
blast was made. The mine was filed
with coal dust at the time and it is
thought that this was the cause of the
explosion, as the miners were not far
away when it occurred. One man
named Val Smith was killed and
eleven other miners injured, four of
! them seriously. The force of the ex-
plosion was SO great as TO throw tim
Der of the shaft to the top Of the der
rick, sixty feet from the ground.

THE B. & O. DEAL.
Garrett Says the Western Union
Company
Shall Not Absorb the B. & o. Tele-
graph Property.
The Goulds Have Possession CT the
Signed Agreements.
A Big Lawsuit Viii Probably Grow
Out of the Affair.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The Times
prints the following: Its no trade,
gentlemen, - said Mr.. Robert Garrett
to Edward S. Stokes and small party
of friends at the Hoffman House early
last evening. He referred to the sale
of the Baltimore IL Ohio Telegraph Co.,
most emphatically made, was a
genuine surprise to Mr.. Stokes and his
friends. They supposed the sale had
been ratified and that all the
papers relating to it had been
signed, sealed and delivered.
They limited as much, asking MIR. Gar
rett if he had read the papers. He re-
piled that he had, but repeated that in
spite of everything said and done the
Baltimore s. Ohio Telegraph company
had not yet been absorbed by its hum
cry rival. 1t looked odd, he said, that
an attempt should be made to sell the
property while he was on the ocean and
not in position to interfere with the
plans in which he was at
least entitled to voice.
Before Mr.. Garrett left the Hoffman
house he had impressed his hearers
with the idea that Gould might ex-
perience a good deal of trouble before
he could legally claim the Baltimore &
Ohio telegraph company as his own.
OF one thing they were SatiSfed-that
Gould would not be allowed to keep
his new purchase at the price he is said
to have paid for it. Mr.. Garrett, in
addition to announcing that no trade
had been made, said that Gould
would, under no circumstances get the
Baltimore u Ohio Telegraph company
for IS, 600, 600. He would have to pay a
good deal bigger figure, for he was the
last man in the country to whom Gar
rett would be willing to sell. MIR. Gar
rett made the opponents of the West
ern Union and the friends of competi-
tion in telegraphy happy by declaring
that he meant fight, and felt sure of
winning. He was inclined to this way
of thinking from the knowledge that
the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph COM
pany was indebted to him personally to
| the not altogether trivial sum of be-
tween IS 600, 900 and 81 100000.
THE AGREEMENT SIGNED.
| A statement in the morning paper to
the effect that Robert Garrett, refer
ring to the absorption of the Baltimore
& Ohio telegraph lines by the Western
| Union that it is no trade caused con-
siderable talk to-day. Mr.. George
Gould did not believe that Mr.. Garrett
was correctly quoted. Although the
collateral has not been turned over the
agreement has been signed and is in
our possession. There is no Baltimore
q Ohio telegraph now as their wires
are part of our system. Mr.. Gould
also denied the statement in the same
article that the Baltimore 81 Ohio
| owed Mr.. Garrett personally between
S3, 100000 and 81 ,OO0, 600. Mr.. w. i.
Someryille, of the Western Union,
was authorized to say that Mr.. Norvin
Green did not believe the story.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-R. G. Dun Il
Company in their weekly review of
trade say: Every condition for a
marked advance in prices has now
been supplied, that the Government or
operators can control. If the advance
does not come, it will be clear that the
locking up of capital in railroad and
other buildings in real estate operation,
and in speculations of various kinds has
a more depressing influence than
many realize. The absorption
of the Baltimore s. Ohio
Telegraph by the Western Union re-
moves an important cause of hesitation
in the stock market. Progress toward
reconstruction in the Reading, and the
settlement of the Western rate troubles
removes others. The Treasury pur-
chases of bonds and the imports of gold
supply money in abundance, and rail-
road earnings continue to exceed those
of last year. The increased supply of
money is not yet felt at all points.
Chicago is shipping less money to the
country, though loans to carry grain on
other cities are large and the CONNER
cial demand is greater than usual, but
at Omaha money Is very tight
and merchants are complaining.
So trade is called excel
at Detroit increased demand raises the
rate and collections are slow; at Cleve-
land money is close, with business bet
ter; at Kansas City the market is close
and collections only fair, but trade
good; at Denver sharp demand is
fairly met and at Southern points the
pressure is made little less severe by
some Improvement in collections.
The iron trade is but little weakened

request granted. Thirty-four thousand
women in Massachusetts, pay 81 .0O0, 900
tax. Nine thousand women in Boston
pay more tax than 900 poll tax

cept poll tax, which is most always
paid by politicians. for no one
can vote until it is paid. The men
don't pay it themselves; they have
nothing. These St, 900 voted to repeal
the temperance law; the good women
tax payers had no vote or voice in the
matter. In West Newton one woman
pays five times as much tax as / ,424
men. That woman is taxed to sup
port the paupers, but she had no vote;
the 1, 44 men all voted, but paid only
one-ffth as much tax as this one
woman. That shows an outrage on
woman. She can agitate, but not de-
feat. The speaker also cited
instances in Indiana, Chicago,
Springfield, Illinois and other
places to the same effect. She
also stated several instances in this
state and gave statistics. She told
how the women may succeed in getting
